Bot Defense for API Security Data Sheet

APIs are an engine for innovation. They enable developers to easily build rich and dynamic web and mobile app experiences. Yet per OWASP data, most APIs lack basic capabilities to detect, prevent, and respond to automated attacks. Nefarious competitors, hackers, and fraudsters reverse engineer apps that connect to API endpoints. Once inside the API, they use bots to scrape data, takeover accounts, commit fraud, and deny API service to other apps and users. Sounding the alarm bell, OWASP has now added “Underprotected APIs” to the OWASP Top Ten.

Underprotected APIs are vulnerable through three access points: through a web browser, direct to the API server, or through a mobile app. The bad guys attack whichever vector has the least protection. Distil Networks protects all three access points.
